Antu Mountain Vinyards Shiraz 2009

Type: Shiraz
Year: 2009
Price: 13.99

Where Bought: Otto's Brown Deer
Comments: Very nicely wrapped, an interesting packaged presentation. However, upon initial taste, it was a little stingy for our tastes. After chilling, it did improve, but probably won't buy it again.

Rating: 2 - Probably won't buy again
